Evernote is making changes to the free version of its service.
Starting today, users who have signed up for the free version of Evernote will be limited to a single notebook and just fifty notes at a time, in a blog post by Evernote. The idea is for users who want more flexibility (and more notes) to sign up for the paid versions instead. Those plans begin at $14.99 per month, although Evernote has discounted the cheapest Personal plan to $10.83 a month for now.
“Evernote Free will continue to be available for users who wish to explore Evernote before subscribing, or who are happy with Free’s more basic features,” the company said. “When setting the new limits, we considered that the majority of our Free users fall below the threshold of fifty notes and one notebook. As a result, the everyday experience for most Free users will remain unchanged.
“For Free users who have or who want more than fifty notes and one notebook, we recognize that these changes may lead you to reconsider your relationship with Evernote,” the company added.
After Bending Spoons acquired Evernote last November, the company laid off 129 people in February, TechCrunch. It seems pretty obvious that Evernote is tightening its belt, and asking customers to pay up to offset any financial woes.
